Have you used these for sleeping and, if so, do they feel more comfotable than foam ear plugs?

This question has already been answered but I do use them for sleeping and, to me, they are much more comfortable than foam ear plugs.

These are terrible for sleeping. They do not drown out snoring whatsoever, and the few times I managed to jam them in my ear and get a semi-decent seal, I woke up in the morning with my ears feeling like they needed to be popped, similar to what a change in air pressure does to your ears when travelling. It made all noise sound muted for at least a day, and was very uncomfortable.Highly recommend looking into Flents Quiet Please as an alternative. I'm a long term ear plug user when sleeping, and they're by far the most comfortable foam ear plugs I've tried.

Yes, I use them for sleeping as I can't tolerate any type of foam ear plugs. I like the way the silicone molds to the shape of my ears without causing the pain and discomfort of the foam inside my ear canal.

No, these are not good for sleeping. The plug cones are a soft material, but the interior is a hard plastic tube. These could easily cause damage to the inner ear during sleep and unconscious movement. The all foam earplugs are much better suited for sleeping and they will block out more sound.

Yes, these are memory foam, kinda like the squishy/expandable ear plugs. They're also removable.

I've reordered these because they work the best when a partner tends to snore. Yes, I can sleep comfortably on my side. Occasionally they have come out, but not often. Usually after I've worn them for awhile but I also think I've pulled them out and went back to sleep. I'll continue to use these ear plugs. I like the neutral colored ones when I go to sporting events or concerts, only because the color doesn't give it away that I'm wearing ear plugs.

That's not really what they are designed for. They don't "plug in" your ear canal like earbuds do.So I'd say "better" than the kind that sit on your outer ear, but not as thoroughly as earbuds.Somewhere in between.

You could, however, the size of the earmuffs would be a hinderance if you attempted to sleep on your side. I believe using them for sleeping is a hit and miss proposition.

They're better with mid to high frequencies because lows are sensed with more than just ears. That said I think they'll cut the level dramatically. They are not significantly more effective than any other foam earplug but they are packaged in pairs and are comfortable for my smaller ear canals. They do protrude out of your ear quite a lot, they'll interfere with a motorcycle helmet, or a pillow. I solve this by lopping off the big end with scissors.

They aren't too good for sleeping. I would get soft earplugs (usualy orange). That's what I used when I was sleeping. You should find them in any sporting goods stores.

My guess is no for sleeping. Unless you lay on your back and never turn. They are also a bit tight on the head, so that could be annoying too. Ear plugs are a better bet...

I generally don't sleep with earbuds in, but when I did use these while laying on my side in bed, I had to make sure the earbud angle was correct or I would be a little uncomfortable. This is due to the rather large housing on the awesome 10mm driver. It was well worth it for the sound quality though, WELL worth it.

They comfortable, but I won't recommend sleeping with them. But if you do fall asleep, like many people said before, they do fall out to protect your ear I guess.

I'm not especially musical, but I would say their bass sound is good if you have them pushed in a lot. Mine, no matter what size cover I put on them, pop out some so I don't get the full effect of the sound quality or the noise canceling. I use earbuds when I sleep too, but I sleep on my back. You probably wouldn't want to sleep on your side with these. For earbuds, if these are pushed in place well, they have better sound than Apple's, but Apple's latest earbuds stay in better and are better for sleeping. Hope that helps.

Regardless of comfort or safety, these aren't the proper earplugs for sleeping. They are meant to filter noise (to make concerts or whatever safer). But they aren't exactly noise-blocking for sleep. You should look for some foam plugs for that sort of thing.

I couldn't. Instead try Walgreen's soft silicone disposable (but reusable) earplugs. They're sticky and go on the ear canal rather than in it, like the foam ones do. I wear them on long plane flights. For sleep you could lie on your side and they still wouldn't be uncomfortable. With the 3M earmuffs you'd have to lie flat on your back to even have a hope of sleeping. The Walgreens type come in a hard plastic case in packs of 12 BTW.

Not sure if my ears are bigger than most, but the pads do rest on parts of my ears. However, the foam they are made of is stupidly comfortable and I find I can wear them even longer than most headphones where the pads clear the ears entirely. They also do a good job of keeping the harder internal parts on the unit from resting on your ears, which is normally the things that makes headphones uncomfortable for me after a time.

The foam against your ears is soft, so its comfy, there is very little leakage that I notice, but I can't really answer as I use them in a LIve situation not a studio. Our drummer likes these a lot. (maybe a more sturdy/dense ear foam may make them leakage proof)

I haven't used them for sleeping, but I have used them inside a helmet that presses against my ears, and they are comfortable in that situation, so they should work for this as well.
